Abstract
So far we have discussed the basics of HTTP and how you can perform HTTP requests in Python using the requests library. However, since most web pages are formatted using the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), we need to understand how to extract information from such pages. As such, this chapter introduces you to HTML, as well as another core building block that is used to format and stylize modern web pages: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). This chapter then discusses the Beautiful Soup library, which will help us to make sense of the HTML and CSS “soup.”
